The paper contains data about 5 species of scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccidae, Eriococcidae) registered in the green spaces of Donbass in 2007, 2018–2020 and 2023. All species are recorded for the first time in the region’s fauna. Among them, three species are monophagous, while two are polyphagous. Potentially dangerous pests of ornamental crops, the state of which needs to be controlled, include alien invasive species – the yew scale Parthenolecanium pomeranicum (Kawecki, 1954) and the box scale Eriococcus buxi (Boyer de Fonscolombe, 1834), included in the list of objects of state forest pathological monitoring of the Donetsk People’s Republic. These species are currently known from isolated local outbreaks within the territory of Donetsk.
